Abstract

We have examined the effect of TSH on thyroid peroxidase (TPO) mRNA levels in dog thyroid cell primary cultures. Freshly dispersed dog thyroid cells were cultured for up to 5 days in the absence or presence of 5 mU/ml bovine TSH. At the outset of culture, and at daily intervals thereafter, total cytoplasmic RNA was extracted and applied to Nytran paper using a slot-blot apparatus. A nick-translated cDNA fragment of the porcine TPO gene was used to probe these filters. Autoradiographs were quantified by densitometry. Nonspecific binding was negligible as determined using a pUC18 probe. During the first 2 days of culture, TPO mRNA levels declined irrespective of whether or not TSH was present in the medium. TSH did not affect this decline. Between 3 and 5 days of culture, TPO mRNA levels in control (no TSH) cells increased to 3 times the initial level (expressed relative to cellular DNA). However, during the same period TSH stimulated TPO mRNA levels 8-fold above the initial level. To confirm that the signal with the cDNA probe was actually that of dog TPO mRNA, cellular RNA (day 4 of culture) was subjected to Northern blot analysis using the same cDNA probe. Specific bands of 2.9 kilobases were detected corresponding to the know...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
